1. Frank Ashurst and his friend Robert Garton were travelling
on foot. 2. Giving the knee a rest and talking of the universe.
3. Like some wild prehistorical animal. 4. Garton’s dark curly
thick hair which looked as though its depths had never been
touched by a comb. 5. Robert was talking nonsense. 6. And
Ashurst who saw beauty without giving a thought to (speculat-
ing how) it could benefit him/how he could benefit/profit from
it... 7. His head was bare/He wasn’t wearing a hat, so how could
he take offwhat wasn’t there? 8. Garton went on asking questions.
9. The girl’s aunt’s neck was also long and graceful and
mobile and probably reminded one vaguely of a snake. 10. He
felt unreasonably happy.
